SONG REVIEW: Releasing another cosy, mid-tempo R&B slow jam unlike surpirse hit T-Shirt, this is perfect chick-flick fodder for the Shopaholic soundtrack. Shontelle's ropes in hit-maker of the moment Akon to give a surprisingly steady vocal performance that actually sounds good rather than using imprisoned chipmunks to sing instead. So all in all, it's a nice duet between the two but if Shontelle wants to be successful here she's going to have to be more than a one trick pony. Why not release some of those dancehall tunes of her Shontelligence album? So, final verdict, seeing how long it took me to describe the video, you'll know that it's pretty non-descript and lacking any fun. Pleasant to look at but that's about it!
Outside of her Carribean homeland, Shontelle will probably always live in the shadow of fellow Bravian pop princess Rihanna. However, believe it or not, Shontelle used to run a harsh boot camp where she made Rihanna do push ups! Yeah, sounds like something in a comedy movie but true. While being huge in Barbados, Shontelle's career outside of it has hardly been remarkable.
3/5
VIDEO REVIEW:
The video is a simple piece of work featuring some clips from the Confessions Of A Shopaholic movie while Shontelle is seen standing around a clothes shop with her boyfriend, trying on clothes and buying them. Obviously Akon isn't good enough to be her love interest so he's confined to being trapped in a television screen with her in front of a large golden background.
2/5
